Phnom Penh is now also the most vaccinated capital city in the world

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I think the restrictions are only until the vax rates get high enough.

That is why i can't understand all the moaning about restrictions. It's not forever and was never intended to be.
Those poeple that are saying the Au and NZ governments want their citizens to live in a cave forever - or ScoMo is just realising that they can't - are either being very disingenuous, or they are totally missing the point.

If the rate for PP is 99%, then isn't that high enough for you? What exactly will be enough for you? Schools in most countries only closed for like 3 weeks and here, despite the so-called success of the vaccination campaign, schools and gyms are still closed, so are bars and so on. People are spraying alcohol on money and their motorbike seats... What will be enough for you?

Australia is only aiming for 80% of adults to be vaccinated. Seems that children aren't people. It's pathetic but deliberate spin by the government.

You might want to check out what’s been happening in Israel or England before you start packing your bags.
